lave an artesian well in the street in front

owing well on the main thoroughfare,
rould be a permanent mpaovement
nd a great convenience, but
he council owe money, and we fear tLey
.all not feel justified in making any ex- a
enditures other than those actually ne
essary. The income of this town is not f
uore than sufficient to pay the running
xpenses, and until the power is given to

CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM.
The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem I
vas the subject of Sunday-school les
ons all over Christendom yesterday. t
nd will be the theme of song and I
armon during this Christmas season q
-the anniversity of Christ's birth.
verywhere that the story of Christ
as gone and his gospel has been
reached, men have some form of ob r
ervance of the anniversary of this e
reat event, and it is interesting to f
ead how Christmas day is observed
ow in the town of Bethlehem where
esus was born nineteen hundred b
ears ago. Bethlehem to-day is a 0
ity of 8,000, with the same old dark 0
treets. too narrow for vehicles. Only c
bonkeys, camels and foot passengers r
raverse the narrow alleys. The
own is five miles south of Jerusalem
nd fine roads connected the two
ilaces. While the city is a little bet
er built than in the time of Christ,
I therwiss has not changed essen- P
ally. The great Church of the Na- e
ivity and some of the larger build- %
gs have been built since the day b
C
f Chris, but many of the buildings
tood at the time of his birth. In an
xchange we find this interesting ac S
ount of Christmas day in the ancient b
ity:
At Christmas everyone visits the Field of
e Shepherds, a mile away from the
hurch, which is reputed to be the piace
there the Shepherds tended their flocks.
at the big church a procession of bishops,
nest and people form itn the square be
are the edifice, each man dressed in his
ost gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers
ne both sides of the streets to clear the
;ay for the procession. The Latin patri
:-ch of Je:-usalem arrives, is met by the
>rocession carrying banners and immenset
andles, andl all go into the Latin chapel b
brough the main entrance. The entrance
a so small that but one man can enter at a
tue and he must stoop to do so. The
eason for this is that the Mohammedans at -
ne time did so much to annoy the Chris.
uns, even tiding into the chnrch
n bor-seback, and the entrance was madle
maler to keep, them out. Inside the
tructnre is very ancient, s .me of it dattinrg
rot the time of Constantine. In the Lat- C
u chapel of St. Catherine serv~ces are held ~
11 night, andl at mtidnight the patriarch of ~
erusale-m says mass. The chapel is filled (
tth people sitting on thc floor. Then the
>rocession repairs to the Grotto of the Na- t
tvity, under the church. Originally this a
tas simply a natural cave in limestone ~
ock-of course the original manager was P
ot preserved. Now marble slabs covert
be walls and floors, and the ten-foot ceiling I
arries thirty-ta o brass lamps. Many re
igious pictures of poor execution hang on C
be walis, and in the east end of the cave is ~
smnall recess, hung about with fifteen I
amps. On the floor of the recess a bright
ilver star is set in, and it is almost worn
way from the constant kissing it receives.
lost of the worshipers remain in the
burch all night.
There are no merry-making, no big t]
linners, no giving of presents, but -y
ere is something deeply significant '
a the observance of the day. a
brough the y ears has come the faith a,
rich rejoices in the story of the fi
hiing star which led the wise men
o the feet of the infant Christ, of the ,
ppearance of the angels to the shep
eids as they watched their flocks by
ight and their singing of the glad
idings of "peace on earth, good willd
ward men," of the infant Christ in
manger, and of the birth of a new
ispensation which has changed the
rhole current of history and given
ew radiance both to humanity and
ivinity.a
